I actually had a look at how the Samsung PCM driver a couple of days back,
but I didn't fully grasp how things work with the secondary TX channel for
the i2s driver and to make it work with the generic dmaengine PCM driver.
The code handling this in the i2s driver seems to be rather messy with lots
of ifs and elses. Also things would have would be a lot easier if the dt
bindings had used two subnodes each with their own 'dmas' property.
